1 Corinthians 7:17

Context
The Circumstances of Your Calling

7:17 Nevertheless, 1  as the Lord has assigned to each one, as God has called each person, so must he live. I give this sort of direction in all the churches.

1 Corinthians 7:20

Context
7:20 Let each one remain in that situation in life 2  in which he was called.

1 tn Or “only”; Grk “if not.”

2 tn Grk “in the calling.” “Calling” in Paul is God’s work of drawing people to faith in Christ. As in 1:26, calling here stands by metonymy for a person’s circumstances when he becomes a Christian.
